As a part-time employee, it would be better if I was able to book leave on an hourly basis. Also, to be able to set up two leave types, paid and unpaid, and accrue lieu time.

Both the above work in different ways and provide different services to CharlieHR, although if we could use a single app for all, that would be better.
